 Welcome everyone. My name is Melissa Armell and I own a company called the Stock Swoosh and I day trade the US stock market I day trade stocks actively and also do options trades with one strategy that I created myself I've been trading for eight years and I only do one strategy in the market I turned my strategy the Golden Gap. I look at 26 points on a daily chart of a stock It's based on technical analysis So I look at a daily chart of each stock that's gaping every morning And I determine based on the 26 points what direction the stock is going to make on the day Whether stock is going to rally that you could go long it or whether stock is going to drop and you could short it And I do prefer to short for the day trades and I actually prefer to go long for options trades If I'm in the stock overnight for several days or weeks because right now the overall trend of the market is bullish So I feel that it's good to be in solid solid longs or calls and options with the market With the overall trend of the market. I teach a class My class is going to be on September 26 27th 28th and 29th It's going to be a live class where I teach the 26 points and we trade live I normally do the class on the weekends This is a special course so that we can rate gaps live in the daily trading room You could take the trades with me and you would also learn my method There is a fee to do this class if you are interested in more information to sign up to register for the course You can email me at Melissa at the stocks wish comm now How do I do it? I have a worksheet and on the worksheet? I get up in the morning. I trade right here I traded my desk This is where I work and I go like I'm going to work every day just sitting at my desk to trade I scan in the morning the nice thing about my strategy on gaps is that it sets up very quickly So I do my pre-work and I fill out a worksheet where I write everything down and I rate my gaps I usually do one trade a day. You can make several thousand dollars a day in one trade And then there's some days where no gaps meet my criteria And I don't trade and then like I said, I'm also doing options as well So the nice thing about daily trading is you only work for yourself from home for the period of the time that you choose To work and because gaps set up into the open when the market opens between 9 30 and 10 o'clock eastern time That's the critical time that you can maximize your profitability in the trades So I'm in the mountain that first half an hour It's rare that I would be in a trade any longer than 30 minutes every once in a while I am but I'm trying to catch that first move to stop So for example, if you're thinking about day trading and you want to learn more information You can reach out an email me at Melissa the stock switch calm It is not impossible to learn how to day trade or invest or do options trades. It's something that can be done It's just that many people don't have number one a focus and or a strategy and that strategy that they had They have one may not work. I talked to a lot of people and they say Melissa I buy support on the 20 per moving average. That isn't a strategy The method that I designed is actually a strategy gaps or a strategy that happened in the market They happen in everything ETS and stocks, but I prefer to trade companies or stocks And the reason I prefer also to short most of the time is because panic action when a company is selling off and the price is dropping Comes in really quick And all you have to do is get them moving the right direction at the right time And you can make money fast and if you make money quickly and can be in and be out And then you're less at risk as well So if you for example, take 5 000 shares of something Say you're you're taking the trade at $10 say the stock price is worth $10 and the stock is gapping down I would have rated it pre-market before 9 30 to know the stock was going to drop If it met my criteria, I would take it on a setup Take the trade shorted at 10 if the stock drops $1 to $9 you have 5 000 shares You would make $5 000 of one trade. So it's all about the share size and the quantity So how do you do that? You get really good at one thing Which is exactly what I've done and one of the reasons that I'm successful today I've been trading for eight years my specific method. No one in the planet does what I do And I've invented my strategy to myself 26 points is a lot of things But it's one of the reasons why I get the gap right and my trades right and my picks right a lot And so someone asked me the other day in the room, Melissa You know, how many trades you take in a month that lose I would say to give yourself at least three losers a month If you're actively day trading there's 20 trades 20 trading days in a month. So I usually do one trade a day I would look to see to estimate about three losers and the rest of the time should be winners Some trades go to the bigger target the dream target Some trades do not go to the target and you're just getting it in for quick move could be 20 25 cents And you're out the idea is to make money consistently I call it chucking it out And if you're able to do that the numbers can add up pretty quickly where you can make About 20 grand it or more a month and that's just the day trading That doesn't even include the options and I've been doing extremely well with those too So if you want to do both I can talk to you more about that as well Feel free to call me if you have questions nine two nine three two zero zero gap And you can email me at melissa at the stockswish.com So if you want to take the live trading class with live trading you can trade with me learn my method There is a fee to do this if you want more information Email me at melissa at the stockswish.com the dates are september 26 27 28th and 29th From nine to five p.m. Eastern time. Thanks everybody and have a great day
